Which is better Umbra or Daedric?

Accepted Answer

Umbra is the better weapon. It's base damage is more than that of a Daedric Longsword, and if you get it without doing the shrine quest it will be weightless. You can get it at any level. It also carries a soul trap enchantment, making it useful alongside Azura's Star. However, Daedric weapons can be enchanted with damage health spells, making them more powerful than Umbra. As far as the armor goes, Daedric is better, but Umbra's armor - like the sword - can be found at any level.
